Dry as well as wet coating techniques were developed to coat glass beads as filter media to remove manganese from water. For dry coating, powdered manganese oxide ore was fixed on the media surface. Wet coating was achieved by depositing synthetic manganese oxides onto the bead surface. The media were characterized by electron microscopy as well as by testing the removal of Mn2+ in a ...

The aim of this study was to identify bacteria present in ripened manganese removal filters for drinking water production. The bacterial population was identified with ‘next generation’ DNA sequencing, and specific bacteria were quantified with quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and characterized by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry ...

Background AdEdge Technologies Inc. (AdEdge) was selected in 2006 by McCrone Engineers and the awarded contractor, Maryland Construction to design, build, and install a full scale AD26GS+ arsenic, iron, and manganese treatment system for their customer Foxxtown Apartments in Sudlersville, Maryland to meet the new EPA arsenic standard. The treatment system was based on the design ...

Background In the fall of 2008, AdEdge was selected by Village of Corona, NM to design, manufacture, and startup a water treatment system for the removal of iron and manganese. The water system that serves approximately 100 connections at Corona was plagued by high iron and manganese in the main water supply with iron from 0.26 – 2.8 mg/L and manganese levels from 0.094 - 0.17 ...

Background In February 2009, the Melody Woods Water Company selected and began working with AdEdge Technologies to assist with the design and implementation of a Manganese, Iron and Turbidity treatment system to serve the water supply for Melody Woods in Los Gatos, California. The site has two existing groundwater supply wells that provide drinking water for approximately 53 connections ...

INTRODUCTION In July 2013, Pure Aqua successfully manufactured industrial media filtration systems to a major company in Philippines to remove particulates, chlorine, organics, and odor from well water. The industrial media filtration systems were selected from our MF-1000 Series with 48" and 42" diameter ...

INTRODUCTION In August 2013, Pure Aqua, Inc. manufactured and supplied Green Sand Filters to a major company in Chile to lower the manganese and iron level in well water. The system came complete with tank, top mounted valves, and high quality green sand media. The system was designed to produce 24 GPM. Since the initial startup, ...

This article is excerpted from 'Pure Water Handbook' published by Osmonics®, Inc. of Minnetonka, Minnesota USA and is printed with permission of Osmonics, Inc. Water treatment can be defined as any procedure or method used to alter the chemical composition or natural 'behavior' of a water supply. Water supplies are classified as either surface water or groundwater. The majority of public or ...

In late 2009, VEI Consultants contacted AdEdge Water Technologies to design, implement and startup an arsenic, iron, and manganese treatment system for the Talkeetna Water System in Talkeetna, Alaska. The existing water supply consisted of a well rated for 250 gpm with an arsenic level of 20 parts per billion (ppb). Iron and manganese levels were 0.04 mg/L and 0.10 mg/L respectively. The water ...

Dissolved oxygen is critical for proper operation of waterworks that utilize anaerobic groundwater and rely on biofilters to remove iron, manganese and ammonium. In these biofilters, planned or inadvertent oxygen deprivation may occur for a variety of reasons. The water quality effects of oxygen deprivation on the function of drinking water biofilters, however, have not previously been reported. ...

The water treatment works takes water from the river Dongjiang in the Guangdong Province north of Hong Kong. The raw water has an average turbidity level of around 11 NTU and contents, among other things, ammonia and manganese. Water temperatures range from 12 to 34oC. During planning of the waterworks ...

Companies in the utility business have a need for high purity water for their operations such as in diesel generator cooling systems and in turbine generator makeup water. Often, utilities can not depend on the city water as the quality is not pure enough and purchasing local water may be expensive. To gain operational and economic advantages, water purification equipment can be added. These ...

Background Park City Utah Water, which serves a population of 6,500, has five water sources. Spiro Tunnel and Spiro Portal are two that were in need of Iron and Manganese removal as well as above limits for Arsenic. Filtronics was engaged by the engineering firm of Eckhoff, Watson and Preator (EWP), Salt Lake City, to perform pilot tests for the Park City Municipal Corporation. The ...

INTRODUCTION As the electronics industry continues to provide us with such products as high resolution television, notebook size portable computers and cars with automatic navigation systems, it becomes necessary to produce semiconductors with finer device geometries to allow for efficient placement of more circuits per a given area. This requires increased control of a semiconductor's material ...

Background The San Joaquin Valley of California is approximately 220 miles long and varies in width to a maximum distance of approximately 80 miles. The occurrence of groundwater over the entire extent of the valley is abundant. Recharge for the varied depths of aquifers is from precipitation in the form of rain and the snow pack from the western Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. High ...

High levels of iron and manganese, along with large quantities of dissolved gases in the wells created concern for the viability of a conventional desalination design for the proposed City of Camarillo groundwater desalination facility. To identify viable pre-treatment process(es) for the control of metal oxide fouling in reverse osmosis, a 12-month pilot study was undertaken. The pilot study ...

To meet the forecasted increases in demand for potable water, the new Tai Po Water Treatment Works has been built in Hong Kong. The plant has a production capacity of 1200 Ml/day This solution strongly reduced the chlorine demand for the plant compared to the alternative execution with break point chlorina The water treatment works takes water from the river Dongjiang in the Guangdong ...

In May 2011, AdEdge Water Technologies was selected among other vendors by Miller & Associates to supply a turnkey arsenic and manganese treatment system for the Village of Stromsburg, Nebraska. Arsenic levels in the water ranged from 0.0178 mg/L to 0.0276 mg/L and the manganese levels fluctuated between 0.05 mg/L and 0.12 mg/L, well above the EPA maximum contaminant levels of 0.010 mg/L ...
